TRAINING AND CONTROL

The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority..

The Devil has three elements by which he operates in the Kingdom of darkness, hell and in the Earth. They were given to  him by The Almighty and the son of Men. Adam handed over the authority of the Erarh to Satan in Genesis 3.: 1-yo the end when he obeyed the serpent instead of obeying the LORD.

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

[26] Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”

[28] Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” [29] Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. [30] And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened.

God gave Adma nad Even authority to rule and reign  over the following creatures

1.Fish in the Sea

2. Birds in the Sky

3.All animals that scurry on the ground

The Man was not given authority over angels, demons, and over their fellow men and women who are created in the image and likeness of God. Man is created in the image and likeness of God , therefore a Man trying to control another man is like to a Man trying to control God.

The only Being who is authorized to control another man is God, the Almighty. Father's are not ordained to control their children. Children are commanded to honour their fathers and mother's while Parents are commanded to train their children in the ways of the LORD and not control them.

PARENTS' AUTHORITY

Ephesians‬ ‭6:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

[1] Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. [2] “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: 

[4] Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.

Father's are ordained to train their children in the ways of the LORD

And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.” Genesis 18:18

God said Abraham will command his children, not force them, compell them rather give them instructions for them to follow for what purposes " That they may keep the way of the LORD yo do Righteousness. This is the same instructions that Ephesians 56:2 says. Father's are to train their children in the ways of the LORD.

My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. Bind them always on your heart; fasten them around your neck. When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you. For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life, Proverbs 6;20.

Parents controlling their children, compelling, manipulating them their children to do their bidding is not ordained by God. They are to teach them the way they the children ought to go and the children are to choose that way. Children that do not know how to exercise their right if choice are to be guided and led u yuk they can make that choice.

God created Man like Himself with a Free Will so that Man can chose whatever they desire to do by then with the responsibility of facing the consequences of their actions at all times.

The relationship that would have allowed a man to control another man is the relationship of parents to their children and even in that relationship, God did not give the parents the authority to control their children.

HUSBAND'S AUTHORITY.

The other relationship ordained by God that has to do with authority is the husband and wife children. The marriage realrionshio started from Genesis 2-3.

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. The Temptation and Fall of Man (Rom. 5:12–21)

In the beginning of marriage, The Creator never commanded Man to have control over his wife rather, the man is ordained to leave the authority of his father and his mother and become one flesh with his wife. Ephesians 5 :21-26 explains the meaning of that one flesh better. "

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:21‭-‬29‬ ‭CEV‬‬

[21] Honor Christ and put others first. [22]  A wife should put her husband first, as she does the Lord. [23] A husband is the head of his wife, as Christ is the head and the Savior of the church, which is his own body. [24] Wives should always put their husbands first, as the church puts Christ first. [25]  A husband should love his wife as much as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. [26] He made the church holy by the power of his word, and he made it pure by washing it with water. [27] Christ did this, so he would have a glorious and holy church, without faults or spots or wrinkles or any other flaws. [28] In the same way, a husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself. A husband who loves his wife shows he loves himself. [29] None of us hate our own bodies. We provide for them and take good care of them, just as Christ does for the church, 

[31]  As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother to get married, and he becomes like one person with his wife.” [32] This is a great mystery, but I understand it to mean Christ and his church. [33] So each husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself, and each wife should respect her husband.

The husband and wife becoming one flesh is the husband caring for the wife the same way he would care for himself. A man is not permitted to care for himself more than his wife. Anything he can put gase for himself, he must also purchase for his wife. 

The stradard of care and love that God sets for the husband is the same way that the LORD Jesus Christ lives the Church which is His Bride. 

1. The LORD Jesus Christ intercedes for the Church before the Father daily 

3. The LORD Jesus Christ prayed for Peter a Bride that Satan will not overpower him and his father will not fail 

4. When the disciples were hungry the LORD Jesus Christ provided good for them when they toil all night and caught nothing

5. He fed the disciples when He was with them and also provided for them after His resurrection. The Scriptures says " God will cause all grace to abound to us and His grace will ensure that we have all we need and also abound in every good works. The husband is given resources by the LORD to take care of members of his family. The Scriptures states that he who fails to take care of members of his household is worst than an infidel. Therefore the husband has the right to ask God to provide for him everything that he needs to care for His household as the resurrected Christ cares for His Church. Wealth, riches, glory, honour, power, wisdom, knowledge and understanding, Holiness, faithfulness and the Spirit of humility and LOVE, intimacy with the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Word of God and Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church

 God will give to the husband if he asked for them.
